I went in for a consult in July and they couldn't squeeze me in until November. At the consult, my artist didn't have change for my deposit. I took off work to be there, rearranged my schedule, and the office manager emailed me with less than 48 hours notice that the artist would not be taking my appointment. Additionally,  she didn't even do the drawing which I paid the $25 dollar drawing fee for. The artist never got in touch with me herself and no one made any attempts to reschedule. I scheduled a time to come in and pick up my refund with the office manager. When I  went in the person at the desk had no idea I was coming and had no cash. I needed to wait nearly half an hour for the office manager to come in with my refund, to which she gave me the wrong amount. Thank God I had my receipt. Read Less

Looking glass tattoo keeps an amazing balance of professional and chill. I was a walk in customer and Charlie worked with me to figure out what would look awesome!

I went to Looking Glass Tattoos looking for a cover-up of an old tattoo that had become faded and outdated stylistically. After Justin talked me off the ledge, he convinced me that he could modernize it but leave the original design mostly intact. I trusted him and I think it was a great decision. From the clean office, to the walking dead decore, to the silent tattoo gun to the awesome playlist, to the comfortable chair , to the overhead windows, everything about my experience at Looking Glass Tattoos was tremendous.

Let me preface this by stating that this review does NOT factor in getting an actual tattoo...because I was never able to actually receive one. I'm writing this strictly on a customer service perspective.I started out by reaching out to the primary email: lookingglasstattoos@gmai… in EARLY JULY. I was very thorough in my details of what I was requesting, and hoped to have my questions answered as it was my first time getting a tattoo. A few days passed with no response. I live about two hours away from the shop so it was difficult to meet with them face to face.I just happened to be in the area about a week later so I decided to stop by to see if my request was being looked at. When I stopped in I mentioned my email and the employee had full knowledge of it, answered my questions, but also said the books were closed until about September/October and finished up by saying my email would be replied to within a few days.Fast forward to END OF JULY, and there was still no response to my initial email sent in the BEGINNING OF JULY.

I just got my first tattoo from Amber Opal at Looking Glass Tattoo and I couldn't be happier. Amber is an amazing and incredibly talented artist. My experience:I gave Amber a few pictures and a basic idea of what I wanted and she nailed the drawing perfectly on the first shot. I sat for about 7 hours and we got through it in one shot. Amber was very friendly, focused and always made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. The shop itself is very clean and everyone there was welcoming. I felt comfortable the second I walked in to Looking Glass. The tattoo itself is incredible. The detail and shading are outstanding and Amber's little touches make it stand out.I cant see myself going anywhere else. Read Less

I realized it was the latter when I contacted a very very popular shop in NYC about a similar request and they responded to my email in ONE DAY.It's very discouraging to see so many great reviews of this place as well as the beautiful work that continuously pops up on their social media feeds, because it only ends up making me feel as if I was personally shafted. By no means did I use any derogatory or distasteful words in any of my emails so I'm not sure what exactly constituted to not keeping in touch with an incredibly eager customer trying to use your services. I will finish up by saying: the shop is beautifully designed and clean, the employee I talked to was overall nice and very informative, the work looks absolutely fantastic in the pictures, and I trust that these artists are truly experts at what they do. I just hope other customers can get their foot in the door with them first. Read Less

I just got my first tattoo from Amber Opal at Looking Glass Tattoo and I couldn't be happier. Amber is an amazing and incredibly talented artist. My experience:I gave Amber a few pictures and a basic idea of what I wanted and she nailed the drawing perfectly on the first shot. I sat for about 7 hours and we got through it in one shot. Amber was very friendly, focused and always made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. The shop itself is very clean and everyone there was welcoming. I felt comfortable the second I walked in to Looking Glass. The tattoo itself is incredible. The detail and shading are outstanding and Amber's little touches make it stand out.I cant see myself going anywhere else. Read Less

CJ did a fantastic job on my tattoo. It was my first one and he did it as gently as he possibly could. The shop was super clean and adorable. The price was also super reasonable.
